"""Robust Brain-5D binary snapshot container (``.b5d``), format V1.
Format V1 is a deterministic, little-endian, memory-mappable snapshot format.
It deliberately contains only immutable snapshot sections. Delta journaling,
checksums and crash-recovery markers belong to the V2 journal layer and do not
change this V1 snapshot contract.
File Structure (V1):
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 128-byte Header (MAGIC, version, flags, offsets, counts) │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ JSON Metadata (max 64 KB, UTF-8, sorted keys) │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Alignment Padding (to 64-byte boundary) │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Neuron Records (fixed size: 128 or 160 bytes each) │
│ - Optical state (128 bytes) │
│ - Core extension (32 bytes, optional, restart-capable) │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Alignment Padding (to 64-byte boundary) │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Synapse Records (40 bytes each) │
│ - source_id, target_id, weight, eligibility, delay, │
│ last_pre_spike │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The format is:
- Little-endian for cross-platform compatibility.
- Memory-mappable for efficient random access.
- Sorted by neuron ID and synapse (source_id, target_id) for binary search.
